Method

  1. Step 1

    Combine the fish sauce, 2 tbs sugar, bird’s eye chilli, if using, oil, garlic and three-quarters of the lime juice in a medium bowl. Whisk until well combined.
  2. Step 2

    Place the chicken in a large bowl. Pour over one-third of the fish sauce mixture and turn to coat. Cover and place in the fridge for 1 hour to develop the flavours.
  3. Step 3

    Preheat oven to 230˚C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Place the rice flour in a shallow bowl. Transfer chicken to the bowl with the rice flour and toss to coat. Arrange chicken on the lined tray.
  4. Step 4

    Bake for 10 mins or until the chicken is lightly golden on top. Turn the chicken and bake for a further 10 mins or until crispy, golden and cooked through.
  5. Step 5

    Meanwhile, combine the cabbage, carrot, spring onion, red chilli, if using, and coriander in a clean large bowl. Combine coconut cream and 2 tbs of the remaining fish sauce mixture in a small bowl. Pour the coconut cream mixture over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine.
  6. Step 6

    Combine the remaining fish sauce mixture and remaining sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to the boil and cook for 2-3 mins or until the mixture reduces and thickens slightly. Add the remaining lime juice and stir to combine.
  7. Step 7

    Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Drizzle with the fish sauce mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with the coconut slaw.
